Knicks president Donnie Walsh said a misperception exists that his
interest in the Rockets’ Tracy McGrady is solely as a rental to inject
life into a dying season.
"There’s reasons other than that," Walsh told The Post.
Walsh declined to specify, but a source said the Knicks would like to
see if McGrady is someone to consider re-signing in July. At least
they’d have a fallback candidate if McGrady excels and they are unable
to land one of the top free agents, LeBron James or Dwyane Wade.
No news on T-Mac: A rumor regarding Tracy McGrady received far more airplay than it deserved Tuesday.
McGrady is on leave from the Houston Rockets and working out in Chicago

expiring $23 million contract, it will take a package deal built around

Where was Tracy McGrady when you need him?
The Knicks could have used T-Mac in last night’s stinker in the Swamp,
losing to the pathetic Nets, 104-95, and showing they probably need a
boost if they are serious about staying in a playoff race.
But if the Knicks do get McGrady, it might not be for a long while. Continue reading “T-Mac deal not on horizon for Knicks” »
